IABP removal same session

Date: Mar 13, 2023

Question:

I want to verify that IABP removal (33968) should not be reported with insertion (33967) when removed at the same session. Is that correct? For example, IABP is placed for use during the procedure and removed at the conclusion of the case, or IABP is placed and used for the case but removed and exchanged for Impella at the conclusion of the case.
